Godlike Prodigal (1)

A few days later, Ye Lang resumed his routine, traveling back and forth between Ye Manor and the Royal Academy. Life appeared to be the same as always, but many people had learned that the Tiger Girl by Ye Lang's side had been granted her freedom and sent back to her home.

At that time, many people regretted Ye Lang's decision. The Tiger Girl, with her petite and cute figure, was considered top-tier among the Tiger Tribe and the ideal female slave in the eyes of many male peers. They thought this kid was truly wasting a treasure, and their beloved Taiya would never be seen again.

"Huh, wait a minute. If he sent her back, doesn't that mean I'll have a chance in the future?" Suddenly, some people realized that because the Tiger Girl was previously Ye Lang's slave, they had no opportunity. Now, it seemed there was a chance, albeit a very slim one.

This was a situation that neither Ye Lang nor the Tiger Girl had ever noticed. Neither of them knew she was so popular, seemingly much more so than Ye Lang.

Of course, those people later learned that this opportunity was zero, absolutely zero!!

After that, no one ever saw anyone else by Ye Lang's side to replace the Tiger Girl. He had no one at home, and certainly not at the academy.

Long Anqi had arranged for other maids to take care of Ye Lang, but he had very bluntly refused. He said he didn't need anyone to take care of him and could manage himself. This was also what he had promised the Tiger Girl – he would take care of himself.

At first, Long Anqi thought this was just temporary. Ye Lang was simply refusing to consider his ability to care for himself because he no longer had the Tiger Girl, and had immediately rejected the offer.

She believed that after some time, Ye Lang would no longer refuse, or at least not so directly and bluntly. This was because she had always thought Ye Lang was incapable of living alone; he was a young master who had been spoon-fed since childhood.

However, she found herself mistaken, and greatly so. Ye Lang not only could do without others' care but could even take excellent care of himself, to an unbelievable degree.

This situation confused many people. It shouldn't be like this; how could a young master who had never taken care of himself know how to do so, and so thoroughly, without any help from others?

Of course, the way this young master took care of himself was also quite special!

Firstly, in his daily life, for tasks like cleaning his room and clothes, he would use an Alchemy Array. This would instantly make things look brand new. When he was processing them, some strange lights would emit, making people think something had happened. Eventually, after learning the full story, they found it both amusing and exasperating, and over time, they grew accustomed to it.

Secondly, he was a spendthrift. He would lavishly spend money on eating out. If he hadn't wanted to preserve everything in the manor, he probably would have demolished and rebuilt the house, throwing away anything dirty or broken and buying new.

Regardless, even though it was a bit unusual, he could still take care of himself and didn't need anyone else's help. In fact, even if it wasn't this special, he could still manage. Don't forget, in his "previous life," he was an ordinary person and had been taking care of himself for countless years.

Speaking of which, after the Tiger Girl left, Ye Lang encountered a minor bit of trouble—

"Hey, isn't this the Thirteenth Young Master Ye?" On the road to the academy, a young master, leading a group of people and carrying a very handsome greatsword, blocked Ye Lang's path.

"Hello!" Ye Lang glanced at the person in front of him and said politely, "Is there something you need?"

"Nothing much, I just want to beat you up." The young master flicked the handsome greatsword with a pose he considered very cool.

"Why do you want to hit me? Have I offended you?" Ye Lang asked blankly. This wasn't an act; his reaction to such matters was genuinely slow, not much different from the former Thirteenth Young Master. He didn't understand what the other party wanted.

"Yes, you have offended us," the young master said teasingly.

"Oh, in that case, I apologize to you," Ye Lang said casually, then started walking forward. With his head down, he seemed to be afraid of them.

In reality, those who knew him well understood that he was thinking about issues related to alchemy. This was his daily state. Perhaps if you asked him later, he wouldn't even remember being stopped or what he had said.

"Uh..." The young masters were stunned, unsure how to proceed. None of them had expected Ye Lang to react this way.

"Stop right there!! You think saying sorry lets you walk away? Let me tell you, now that Taiya isn't by your side, I can beat you up if I want. Don't think you're so great just because you're the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye family. Trash is always trash!" The young master flashed in front of Ye Lang and then pointed at him, shouting loudly.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You're jealous of my status, and you didn't dare to make a move on me before because the Tiger Girl was around, as you couldn't defeat her," Ye Lang stopped and looked at the young master in front of him.

"..." The young master's face turned a little red, a look of unbearable shame appearing on it. Ye Lang's words were indeed the truth; they were people who couldn't defeat the Tiger Girl and thus dared not do anything to Ye Lang. He was one of those people, perhaps on the dumber side.

If they were smart, they wouldn't think they could make a move on Ye Lang now that the Tiger Girl was gone.

Why?

"Hey, you guys should run quickly, or you'll be in trouble later," Ye Lang said to the group in front of him. Before they could say anything, he added, "Don't think I'm toying with you. I'm just too kind and don't want to see anyone get hurt."

"Nonsense, you're the one who'll be in trouble, you're the one who'll get hurt!!" the young master roared, completely acting like he didn't know the meaning of death. Indeed, in many people's eyes, he was courting disaster.

"Huh, are you guys bullying Ye Lang? Do you think it's too hot and you're looking for some coolness!" At this moment, a passerby walked by, and this passerby happened to be Ye Lang's classmate.

"What do you mean too hot, looking for coolness?" the young master didn't understand, but he soon would.

"Ice Arrow!!"

A voice rang out, followed by a flash of blue light that struck the young master, immediately making him understand what coolness meant.

"Do you think I'm dead? How dare you bully my brother!" Ye Lanyu appeared, her voice icy as she spoke.

That's right, without the Tiger Girl, there was still Ye Lanyu. Anyone who dared to touch Ye Lang would first face her Ice Arrow.
